the online dating "game"

since you all obviously respond more to questions about "game", I figure I take it back to the old school and drop some knowledge on the ONLINE DATING "game". yes, I openly admit to having hunted hotties over the world wide web. my natural first step was the famous match.com, which is ripe with lonely ladies looking for love from d-lo. from experienced cougars (aka "seasoned vets") to young kitty kats, match.com was kind of like an a la cart menu of single women waiting to find a special person. the funny thing about online dating is that its meant to facilitate meaningful relationships, but its so unbelievably superficial all at the same time. I mean people have to post hot pics of their hot bods and then type out some witty profile about how great they are, and then fill out their body type, height, eye color, best feature, religion, eating habits, blah blah blah. i mean....imagine walking into a bar/restaurant and everybody had written on their chest that they were looking for someone who is asian, over six ft tall, intelligent, stylish (with my friday attire)...sexy...sexy...and let me not forget...sexy. my "game" would be off the heezy!

and in NYC at least you think you'd never actually run into someone from the virtual world, in the real world. but being the suave social butterfly that I am, I've already had a couple coincidental encounters with match.com ladies. I said "oh shit" to one girl's face as she approached me at a bar. so smooth...like butta baby. then yesterday as I'm walking home the same girl walked by with a dude and had a huge smirk on her face. she obviously still digs me.

but online dating is getting more and more popular and socially acceptable despite the negative stigmas associated with it. and if a cool cat like me is resorting to "web winking" then its gotta be pretty legit. I have to admit, makes for some good stories.

but will online dating ever be more popular than going to a bar/club and drunkenly making out with a strange person?

the first move

I saw a commercial for T-mobile the other day about this dude who wants to talk to this chick at a restaurant, so he calls some friends and fam to figure out what he should say. one of his buddies tells him to say "do you know karate? cuz you're body be kickin!!!" so money...so money.

when it comes to game, I'm like Shaquille O'Neill. I just wait for the sweet pass down low, and if the positioning is right, then it's a slam dunk every time. I'm an aggressive dominant closer and usually clutch in high pressure situations. a future hall-of-famer. but I got my weaknesses too. I'm not really an opener when it comes to the biddies at the bar. I got no skills when it comes to making the first move. my one fatal flaw...

so here's my question: what are some good (or bad) first moves?

digital game

back to the topic of "game"!!

so i was talking with someone this weekend about how the art of game has totally evolved with new technologies. there is no longer the "booty call", there's the "booty text"...which just doesn't sound right to me, but hey, i've been guilty of it. but maybe that's why i got no game!! hmm...

i still think it's definitely true. i mean if you actually dial a number and leave a voicemail it means something right? it's kind of like writing a hand written letter to someone. people think it's so freakin awesome that you spent the extra time and effort to pick up a pen, when in reality it could have been you're just a complete moron when it comes to e-cards and can't figure out how to register on hallmark's homepage. so how are you supposed to really know?! and what if a person just makes that tiny tiny extra effort to make you feel special just because they know you're going to think it's special? in reality, they're just playing you. it's like buying roses. you're putting that extra effort (in this case it's $$$) to get something you want, when in reality roses means absolutely nothing to that specific situation. so what's the point of roses (other than the fact that they're super expensive)?? i'm not saying DONT GET ROSES for someone you like, i'm just saying that maybe there's something else or extra you can do. that's the tricky thing about human relationships. and i'll be completely honest, the shit is hella confusing!! and the whole wireless communication boom has changed the whole dynamic of how you communicate with someone you dig. i mean, i'm pretty sure it's helped me meet and start relationships with girls. so that leads me to my question:

has new technology helped your "game" (and "game" in general) or hurt it?

he got game

so some of my friends seem to think I have no game even though I think I have mad skillz (baller on a budget) in woo-ing the lady friends. so my first question of the blog is:

does d-Lo have game?
